Newt Gingrich knows how to play to the base.
At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Friday, the GOP presidential hopeful said that, if elected, he would wipe out much of President Obama's legacy on his very first day in office.

He said that "by the time President Obama lands in Chicago we will have repudiated at least 40 percent of his government on the opening day."

"For the Republican establishment, managing the decay is preferable to changing the trajectory," he said. "This is the year to reset this country in a decisive, bold way. We are determined to rebuild America, not manage its decay."
Gingrich aligned himself the Tea Party and Ronald Reagan, which he said represented the "conservative movement" versus the "Republican establishment."
The Republican establishment, he said, doesn't "have the toughness, they don't have the commitment, and they don't have the philosophy necessary to build a majority in this country."

Look up some of the unadvertised, unreported Executive Orders BHO has done - it’s frightening. One was to give the UN vastly more power on our shores, over us private citizens.
“This Senate won’t repeal Obamacare and Sarbanes-Oxley, nor will the next one.”
With a forceful president, more conservatives in the House and Harry Reid out in a Republican Senate, it can be done. Newt accomplished remarkable things while Speaker and moved Clinton further than he wanted to be moved.
He can, and will, do great things again to help the republic.
Love that lineup!!!
Best part was exposing the meme. Stated he said conservative twenty five times in a twenty six minute speech.
Any person who has taken a basic business class knows this technique is used to “brain wash” the consumer. Guess Mitten's knows he's not one.
Even with more Conservatives in the House in this Congress, they have given Obama the green light to incarcerate lawful American citizens without due process. Despite all best efforts on his part to calm everyone’s fears, I don’t believe him. As I said, if he can lie to the Catholic Bishops, he’ll lie to the American people.
I have problems with all the candidates. Not just Newt.
GeronL: “The next President doesn’t have the power to cancel laws that were passed by Congress unilaterally.”
Maybe you should listen to his speech before commenting?
SuperLuminal: “Only heroic surgery, as surgeons are wont to say, will offer any chance at restoring freedom & liberty within the framework of the former Constitution...”
You have to start somewhere. No way is this going to be reset overnight, but I believe Newt Gingrich will help get us started in the right direction. He’s actually been there and done that with the Contract with America in 1994. He’s got warts to be sure, but when he had his chance, he actually governed as a conservative. That is, unfortunately, a very, very rare thing in this day and age.
BigSkyFreeper: “I have problems with all the candidates. Not just Newt.”
Nevertheless, they’re the candidates we have. As frustrating as 2008 was, either McCain or Obama was going to be the next president. All the wishful thinking in the world wasn’t going to change that hard, cold fact. Talk about being on the horns of a dilemma, aka Morton’s fork!

More than likely, one of the four remaining Republican contenders will be the nominee and will face Obama in the fall. Again, all the wishful thinking won’t change that either.
Go Newt! Slash and hammer then them out the gate. Thats why I want Newt, he’s a fighter, he’s not worried about a little blood coming from his nose.
“Newt has to be elected first and then as he states in his speeches, we, the people have to insist and drive the representatives in doing the things that we want. With the right person, you will at least get some good things done soon in. Once the people are excited to see new changes are coming, our voices will be powerful. DC is corrupt with lobbyists. I salute the man for fighting this corrupt system. No wonder they are afraid of him. He can only do so much on the outside for now.”
Anyone now wonder why Sarah “would vote for Newt”? He is THE ONLY ONE in the race that would take on the establishment, something that has been a long time coming. We need a president with the backbone to help clean out the den of thieves and corruption in Washington.
He does have the power to fire every stinking assed Czar Obama put in place, to cancel every Executive order, to replace the a-holes at EPA with his own people and cancel the regulatory rules that are killing America.
Cancel laws??? Ha Laws are not what are killing us,It’s the Czars and regulations.
I believe the first thing Obama signed was a restriction on anyone looking at his records.
However, THIS president has busted the Constitution and by-passed the Congress so many times in putting much of it in place....
Agreed we need someone who will adhere to what the Founders built, but I see nothing wrong in using the same tactic to mitigate the harm as was used to implant the harm.
The biggest difference will be that if Newt does anything 1/10th as much as Obama, the MSM and the Left will screech bloody murder - where was the Right and the MSM all this time?
“This Senate won’t repeal Obamacare and Sarbanes-Oxley, nor will the next one.”
Executive order.
I have said for a very long time, that the UN needs to go, US and Canada should 100% defund the UN and punt it out of our countries, and never listen to anyone from that commie organization again. They should be treated like the enemy they are.
No, but he has the power to reverse or eliminate executive orders, and most of the damage done by fubo came from executive orders.
That is exactly what I keep thinking too.
Newt will need to have someone other than Boehner as "speaker of the house" though.
You should listen to his speech before commenting on his speech.
But, but, but...Romney said he would repeal Obamacare on day one!
